When A Friend Comes Out 
It started out like every other lunch I'd had with my friend Ann: I ordered mu shu pork; she ordered beef in oyster sauce. I asked for fried rice; she wanted white. Then with chopsticks in hand, we dug into our food. Nothing unusual, nothing surprising that is, until we were halfway through the meal.

I think we all should not be judemental but if we read the Holy Bible it does say in Romans 1 that love for the same sex is a sin. I agree that we love the person but hate the sin as Jesus did. He forgave of all sins when He shed His blood on the cross. We have to accept this in faith Jesus as our Saviour and right and wrong will be known to our hearts thru the Holy Spirit. Please accept Jesus in your heart! He loves you.
